Highlights
-
Cliffs of Moher - The return journey from the Aran Island , a guided cruise alongside the foot of the Cliffs of Moher, is a spectacular journey which puts the 214m high, 8 km long cliffs into perspective.
At the arrival at the Cliffs of Moher ,as a guest of Aran Tour Company, you will receive free entry to the cliffs and the eco-sensitive visitor centre. Take a stroll along the cliff edge and consider how tiny everything looks from above! - Inisheer - Inisheer (the smallest and most vibrant of the Aran Islands) is only a 30 minute sailing from Doolin and attractions include ancient churches and castles, one of Ireland’s most beautiful beaches, a modern playground and several pubs and cafes, lighthouses and shipwrecks! Take a pony and trap, hire a bicycle or stroll the peaceful boreens.
- Doolin - We visit the quaint fishing village of Doolin to enjoy some lunch.

Additional Information
Join us on this exciting coach journey as we travel southwards along the dramatic Wild Atlantic Way, moving into the unique, moon-like landscape of the Burren region. Our trek takes us to charming Doolin, a scenic fishing hamlet where you will board a swift ferry** bound for Inisheer (Inis Oirr). Inisheer, only a brief sail away from Doolin, presents a myriad of attractions for your perusal. A professionally led boat tour at the base of the awe-inspiring Cliffs of Moher promises an exhilarating experience.
You can then refuel with a robust meal at a traditional pub in the locality before we reach the Cliffs of Moher. Be prepared to marvel at the panoramic perspectives from the cliff edge, as everything below appears minuscule.
Upon our exit from the cliffs, the journey home will be along the coastal road, tracing the path of the Wild Atlantic Way, before a final halt at the striking Baby Cliffs in Ballyreen. This is your chance to tread on the Burren.

Out of this world views - insightful guide. Highly recommend! - Booking this tour was the best decision I
made on my trip to Galway. The bus was
clean, air conditioner/warm and cosy. We
were very well taken care of, got enough
time at every sopt to explore. The guide
Dave was full of local stories, history and
geographical information. That made the trip
so much more worth it. Went cycling on the
Aran islands-best way to take in the sight in
my opinion. Great views of the cliffs from the
Ferry. All in all -Highly recommend :)

Best Day in Ireland! - Dave our busdrive and guide was so funny and helpful. The Cliffs of Moher were stunning, but the mini bus ride on the island and the history of the small island was fascinating as well as chatting with locals in a pub!

Memorable Tour - Our guide/driver, Tommy, was funny & gave great history of Ireland. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate while at the cliffs but we still had a great time & a few good laughs while being blown over by the wind! Recommend the horse buggy ride on the islands!

Great trip - Dave was the best guide. Knowledgable, friendly, and fun and engaged passengers in conversation. I couldn’t have asked for a better driver who could poke fun at a bad day of weather at the cliffs, and have the bus singing along and laughing out loud.

Aran Islands with Irish Music Dave - Our favorite activity so far! Our bus driver, Dave, had an incredible knowledge of the area and its history, we learned a ton! He made sure to point out all the cute little animals along the way to Doolin and made sure we got preferred access to the best tours in the Aran Islands, we’d highly recommend the bikes! Dave also has a great collection of Irish and pop music which he plays throughout the trip and had the whole bus singing! The pub in Doolin was very homey, definitely get the Irish stew! Overall an amazing trip, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone!

The perfect way to spend a day in Galway - We took this tour on a drizzly, foggy day and still had a thoroughly wonderful time! Our guide, Dave, was full of stories and advice and managed to keep a full bus of people coordinated and happy all day. Highly recommended!
